Profile: Stephen Pryor flew through the Mariners farm system, striking out the world (11.9 K/9 rate), and sometimes walking it too (4.7 BB/9 rate). He's a very hard thrower, averaging over 96 mph on his fastball, occasionally touching triple digits, but he struggles mightily with his command. He's a big dude, he's closed in the minors, and there's no doubting his stuff. But he's probably second or third in line to close should anything happen to Tom Wilhelmsen, but any saves vultures out there definitely should keep Pryor tucked away. If he can reign in his control issues, there's some really interesting potential here. With the arms in that Mariner pen, the team might want to trade their closer to upgrade elsewhere.

The Quick Opinion: Stephen Pryor only lacks some kind of ironic facial hair to look like a classic closer. He can touch 100 mph with his fastball, he throws with a kind of unique recklessness, and he sometimes can't find the strike zone to save his life. He's young (23), and there will probably be opportunity in Seattle to close in the coming years, if not sooner. A classic closer-in-waiting.

Profile: There's really no way to sugar coat "torn back muscle," and that's exactly what shut down Stephen Pryor in April of 2013. The big, hard throwing righty shot through the Mariners farm system with a fastball able to clock triple digits, and after a mixed-result 2012, Pryor was thought to be at least in line for a closer opportunity should anything derail Tom Wilhelmsen. But his injury shelved him early and there's some question about whether he will be able to break camp with the Mariners this spring. There are enough question marks in the Mariner bullpen that Pryor could fall into some save chances, and potentially many holds. But if you're considering him at all, be sure to monitor his health.

The Quick Opinion: Stephen Pryor has a big-time fastball combined with a big problem of getting it over the plate. If he can return healthy in 2014 and harness his stuff, he could be a source of cheap saves with plus strikeouts.

Profile: When healthy, Stephen Pryor’s fastball can touch triple-digits, and a 90 mph slider serves as an effective second offering. Pryor was healthy in 2012, and the right-hander struck out 26 percent of the batters he face. Now, Pryor is coming off essentially two seasons lost to back and shoulder injuries, and no one knows if he’ll be healthy in his first full season with the Twins organization. If Pryor’s right, he’ll be up in the big leagues and will rack up strikeouts but give up a few too many walks. Even then, Pryor isn’t likely to factor into the back end of the Twins bullpen, and doesn’t project to have value in leagues that count holds. Pryor is a fun organizational bullpen arm, but he’s not fantasy worthy. (Zach Sanders)

The Quick Opinion: If healthy, Pryor is a fun bullpen arm with a fastball that can hit 100 mph. Unless he can prove to be healthy and cut down on the walks, Pryor isn’t a fantasy option.

Profile: Pryor isn't projected to throw a single major league inning in 2016 per FanGraphs' depth charts. His only stretch of time in the majors of note were those 23 innings with Seattle in 2012. (Brett Talley)
